Centers</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Went to service a 5-year-old (about) =
Hyundai
small grand the other day. Many action centers are very sluggish (to =
the point
of not functioning) on the rep levers, jacks and back-action =
flanges
(none of the hammer or wippen flanges seem to be affected). Is anyone =
familiar
with any known problem with action centers on these pianos? (I'm =
thinking of
something like the known center pin plating problem on some Samicks.) =
Just
trying to find out if any known problem like this exists before I dig =
into
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>FWIW, the (black) piano has been =
sitting in
direct sunlight (arrrgggggg!) for several years. The side of it was so =
hot I
could not keep my hand on it! They indicated they will be moving it to =
the
other side of the room before I return.....</FONT></DIV>
